Makes sense that a Dad who waits until May of his daughter's senior year to look at schools should wait until the day after graduation to ask if she's planning to attend basketball camp. Summer's following Mom's pithy advice: she's about to tell Les of her plans to "follow her heart" and elope with Keisha.

Uh-oh is right. I think it's pretty obvious where we're going here. Prepare yourself for a whole lot more of these two smirking morons as Summer of Summer continues.
Panel two = worst Summer drawing ever? It's a contender, she looks exactly like one of the Japanese characters in one of those racist WWII Bugs Bunny cartoons they don't air anymore.
“Basketball camp”…”Montoni's”…way to aim high there, Les. The kid graduated like a day ago and Les is already encouraging her to spend the summer working in that disgusting dive. What a dick. And I'm assuming that “Bombers” jersey belongs to Cayla: it's way too jock-ish for Les to actually own.

No wonder KSU sucks. A "prized" recruit isn't slated to play in a summer league with teammates and isn't going to participate in "voluntary" practices completely organized by the players and not the coaches.

Basketball camp? Is that supposed to be like the summer workouts that most Division 1 basketball coaches file under 'earning the scholarship our boosters are giving you'?
Yeah, go ahead and "None Of The Above" that…

Oh yes Jimmy… KSU girls basketball does suck…. but in TB-Land they'll win the NCAA title next year with a star freshman who can dunk. Remember there is no "I" in Kent State.
(Think we'll ever have Slumber notice the spot where 4 KSU students were shot down by Ahia Natural Gonads)
But least we give thanks to TB for running us through: Finals, Graduation ceremony, college recruitment all in 6 days while a prom took 4 weeks.
So a tip 'o the Pookster Garrison cap.

Brilliant!
"I was visiting Westview the other day and had breakfast with Les Moore. He made some eggs… so I cooked them.
Afterwards, I went to one of the local hang outs, a comic book store recently renamed The Three Palms… It's owned by a lovely couple, Becky and John Howard.
Several people asked me where I was when I heard that Lisa died… Well, I don't have an alibi.
I was in the library, and the librarian was very rude. I said 'I'd like a card' and he said 'You have to prove you're a citizen of Westview, nyah nyah…' So I showed him my cancer diagnosis."

Wouldn't it be awesome if Summer was killed on the mountain climbing trip and Les came home and blamed Lisa for her "follow your heart" advice? He could yell at the TV screen and they could have ghost fights and everything. It'd be great.
Or what if Les & Summer finally set off on the big trip when suddenly TB cuts to a panel showing the Moore VCR with a tape labeled "How To Get Rid Of Les Once And For All…The Mountain Climbing Scheme" sitting on top of it? That'd be awesome too, plus I'd probably like Summer (and Lisa) way more afterward as well.

Panel 2: Is TB seriously trying to make Summer look like a female? (Protip: Might help if you gave her facial features and some sort of figure.)
Panel 3: If so, the effort fails as she drinks from the tiniest coffee cup ever, which is also magically hovering near her Muppetine mouth!

Les: "…why wouldn't you want to work at Montoni's?"
Summer: "Yeesh. I've done that before. I just want to try something else, okay?"
Les: *creased brow, the Frown of Utter Disbelief has formed*
Summer: "Dad! Yeesh. And, anyway, shouldn't -you- have a million things to do this summer? Wedding preparations? Plans for dealing with our newly blended family? *sigh* Hollywood?"
Les: "But…but…MONTONI'S! Pizza! Job! Job Pizza!"
Summer: "I give up."

I'm probably the only one, but I'd like to see Summer marry someone whose last name is "Insufferable."
That way, when she greeted people, she could thrust out her hand, smirk, and say, "Hi, Summer Moore-Insufferable."
And people would say, "Yeah, your dad for instance."

Damn, I wish I hadn't read ahead. I'd also root for her to elope with Kareesha. Following her heart, she and Kareesha would buy a struggling WLNBA franchise (pick one – ANY one) Goatee Boy's Hollywood money, and move it to Medina, Ahia. (Already have the name picked out!) That "spend the night with the team" idea becomes a regular practice.
Pow!

What's up with panel two? Again, like in the "Slap-up-the-side-of-the-head-with-the-spatula" Memorial Day episode (where we were introduced to Less' grossly disfigured arm), we now see the smug bastard with a new aliment, this one called "Shrunken Wrist Syndrome"……

For one pizza parlor to provide employment to as many people as Montoni's does, it would have to be the size of a shopping mall, the Wall Drugs of crappy pizza.

Lester knows better than to crop dust right at the breakfast table, so like a true gentleman we see in P3 that he has the common courtesy to back up another three feet from Su'moore before letting fly. But instead of a muffled toot, it must have been a Hershey squirt. "Uh-oh" is right!

You'll always be fine as long as you follow your heart? Actually, you'll do even better if you use common sense. But, hey, if you want to fall off of a mountain and join your mom in video purgatory, I have no problem with that. (Anything beats working at Montoni's) Just be sure to use the buddy system and take Les with you, too, okay?

Oh, and Les looks WAY too giddy about those locked-up scholarships in Panel 1. I bet Cayla feels like a jackass for spouting off about those Wall Street billionaires ruining things for everyone else now. Pull up a chair at the breakfast table, Cayla, and smear a little egg in your face.
